A buddy, ted, that ive known for a few years, smartest kid i know, plays music, works 2 jobs, endeering an amazingly hard university science based program..

About 8 months ago he started selling pot and mushrooms...

Now teds hot man on campus, always has pounds of anything around...stacks of cash 7"+ tall.

Just a month ago he was telling me about how he stuck to organics, only pot and mushrooms.

The last 3 times ive been over there, he's been cutting coke and e up on his desk. Sucked back a 1/2gram so he could handle going to make a deal, talked a mile a minute for about 5 and sucked back another quarter gram. Say's he doesnt sleep, also said he couldnt have left without that other 1/4gram and jokes about *looking* like a fiend.

Fuck! That happened fast. This kid was the straightest of straight kids in highschool, and man, he had things together.

Its not really my place to order an intervention, but my friend is in that position. Im supposed to be sharing salvia with ted in awhile, and my buddy D. is going to have a talk with 2 of teds other close friends, when we all do salvia....and im not sure.

genuine concern is hard to recognize, expecialy when you have a problem (im speaking from personal experience), and addiction can take control and sometimes ruin the person you thought you knew (again, from personal experience).

Your best bet is to get several friends together, and not confront yet, but express your concern... ALL OF YOU

Best of luck dude, I hope your friend can accept that he might have a problem, and work through it.

I think he knows it...i think is dealer is paying him several visits a day. Im worried because he's mixxing e and coke too - bad combo.

He's really paranoid in weird ways...and acts REALLY strange, and pretends like its a joke...but im not sure how much is him being a sketchball. I cant imagine he's keeping up with his studies...every surface in his room is covered in drugs or bills.

An intervention is really just a way to gang up on someone and alienate them from their friends.

I'm not really sure how to handle it well, but I do know that interventions are rarely effective.

when it was me, I wish more of my friends had said something to me. I was VERY addicted to coke/crack, and the one thing that kept me going more and more (besides the addiction) was that I thought no one could tell, that I was still in control of myself. I wasnt.

Better suggestions? I have not.But, I can tell you I wish someone had told me i was out of control... It might have saved me alot of time/money/trouble... and I KNOW i wouldnt have gotten so bad.

I cant tell you what to do... no one can. But i can tell you if it was me, id want to know, even if it pissed me off.

Well, me and my friend D. are pretty smart when it comes to tripping..

And Ted would like to use exotic psychedelics with us, would a group session where we voice our concerns, or have suggestable theme's be appropriate at all? With lsd i think it would be bad, but some pure mda/mdma i think could be really effective, although i doubt itll happen.
